Hi 4MM,
I have been on the internet and found this great table game. It is great for revising your tables. Remember to choose a table that you need to really practise, perhaps x7 and x8, as these are the ones we have been learning this term and have a go at being timed. This would enable you to see whether you are AUTOMATIC at these.
How did you go?
- Which tables did you find easiest?
- Which tables were you ‘timed out’?
- What strategies did you use to make learning the tables easier?
- Did you find this practise useful?
Hi Mrs Masik,
I found the multiplication game very interesting. I tried the 7x, 8x, 9x, and 6x. I only got timed out for one of them and that was the 9x, but I finished the rest. I found the 6x the easiest. I found this practice useful because now I know that I need to practice 9x more. The strategy I used to make learning them easier was practicing them more.
Thank you for reading,
From H.M.
Dear 4mm and Mrs Masik,
I think that the times tables quiz is a great idea because you would soon know your times tables automatically. I found that my 6x was the easiest but I got timed out on my 7x and 8x but I will keep trying until I don’t get timed out on any.
I think that the times table quiz is a great game to play, you should try it too!

Hi Mrs Masik,
I tried doing the tables test for 9x but I got 15 out of 20. It was stressing me because I was trying to find the keys but for 6x I got 16 out of 20. At first, I found it hard but I kept on trying and I got a full score but it was not easy. I would like to say a well done to H.M. for getting everything correct on the first round. I tried so hard and I only got it once. So I am going to try my best each time so I can be automatic. I found that 9x are easier than my 6x even that I did better in my 6x. So can you beat the clock?

Dear Mrs Masik,
I went onto the Multiplication website and did my x6, x7 times tables and mixed. I almost got a certificate for mixed and x6 times tables.I defiantly found this practice useful because I noticed an improvement on my x6 times tables!
What times tables did you find the hardest?

Dear Mrs Masik,
I found the multiplication game very educational because it makes students want to learn their times tables automatically, the fun way. I found the sixes exceptionally easy because I got a perfect score (20 out of 20) in 48 seconds. For the seven times tables, I found it hard to find the keys because I don’t know the keyboard very well. I got a perfect score in just 53 seconds. For the 8 times tables I did a silly mistake and got 19 out of 20 in 48 seconds. For the 9 times tables I got 20 out of 20 in 58 seconds. I was frantically searching for the keys everywhere. For the mixed times tables I got a perfect score and in a good time because I was starting to get to know where the keys are on the keyboard from all that practise before. My time was 40 seconds.
I was not timed out for any tables but I did get one wrong but I knew the answer.
To make the game easier you need to know where the keys on the keyboard are. This practise is useful for many reasons because you learn your times tables accurately and automatically. I think it is important to learn your times tables because one day you might need to times something (example cooking) to find the right amount.

Dear Mrs Masik,
I think that the times tables game is very educational. I went on the game and I did x7,x8 and mixed tables. I think that this game is a great way to learn times tables.I got 16 out of 20 for seven times tables ,I got 14 out of 20 for eight times tables and I got 20 out of 20 for the mixed tables. I won a certificate for mixed times tables. I was so happy. I also think that the practice was useful.
Thank you for reading.

Dear 4MM and Mrs Masik,
I tried the Multiplication Game website and I really enjoyed it (even though it was too easy). I did my 9x, 8x and mixed tables. I didn’t get timed out for any of them. I think that my 9x were the easiest because when you get past the 5×9 area, the numbers are just reverse.
E.g (9×3=27,9×8=72).
What is the easiest times table to you?

Dear 4MM and Mrs. Masik,
I have been playing the math game you told us to play.
It was fun and it was simple. I got a certificate for all of the tests. x6, x7, x8, x9 and the last one was the x10 and I don’t know why I did that. It was hard to find the keys and I was running out of time but I caught up. It would be best if the people who don’t know their times tables to try it out.
Thanks for reading my blog.

Hi Mrs Masik and 4MM,
I tried the multiplication game and I really enjoyed it. I did my 6x, 7x, 8x, and 9x. I received a certificate for all the ones I tried. I found the 9’s the easiest. Also I didn’t get timed out for any of them. The tables I found hardest were the 8’s. I found the practise very useful and educational.
Which times tables did you find the hardest?
Hope you liked my post.

Dear Mrs Masik,
My learning goals for this term are:
1.I need to improve in my times tables (6x,7x,8x,9x). I can do this by practising with dad timing me and giving me 12 timetables every night to try and beat my P.B.
2.I would also like to improve in my handwriting so that I can get my pen licence, I can do this by slowing down my writing and putting in 110% more than what I am doing now.
Those were my term 4 goals.
